00:00I'm even more disappointed in Io Sky
00:01because what she did tonight is a disgrace.
00:04This was Raquel's night.
00:06This was her moment.
00:07She's supposed to be the Intercontinental Champion.
00:10That's right, Io.
00:11So, it's not over.
00:13It's not over until I stay.
00:15So, hasta que yo digo.
00:16¿Y sabes por qué?
00:17Porque aquĂ manda a Judgment Day.
00:20And I'm not stopping until I get what belongs to me.
00:23Cállense los chicos.
00:25I will get what belongs to me and you will not hear it.
00:28Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:30Guys, it's okay.
00:31Don't worry.
00:32Io wanted to make a statement tonight.
00:35Well, next week, I'll make one of my own.
00:37And Io Sky, I'm going to make sure that you don't even make it to SummerSlam.
00:42I'm going to remind you why they call me the prodigy
00:45and why the Judgment Day runs Monday Night Raw.
01:03I don't know what you expect.
01:08Softball.
01:09I'm going to beat up andĺ”± me the brain heating in, which is probably the same reason
01:11I wrestle with maniacz, jv's in this especiallycher, chucked up, considerate
01:14to bust me across the mistake if they sleep it.
01:17I'm beingĺ”± me the bus, better get insomnia.
01:18A.D.A.
01:50Lyra, you once waited in line for hours at a toy shop to meet me and I made time for
01:56you to have a real conversation about your wrestling career.
02:00And maybe that never meant anything to you, but to me, that's the foundation of where
02:05my respect for you began, where my trust in you truly began.
02:09Because I watched this girl who was just a fan become the first ever women's intercontinent
02:14to champion, to then become my best friend and stand right beside me at WrestleMania.
02:21And when I had one of the hardest years of my career, it was you who kept me level headed.
02:27It was you who made me reach deep down and bring out the best version of myself every
02:33single week.
02:35You constantly reminded me who I was and what I've done.
02:40After all the heartbreaks I've been through, I never questioned my trust in you.
02:45I've shared my experiences and my stories with you, thinking it would help guide you, but
02:52you just used it all against me.
02:54And I just don't understand why you couldn't have an honest conversation with me about everything
02:59that was going on in your head.
03:01And instead, you took the easy way out.
03:03So Lyra, I'm giving you one chance to prove to me that you're not just like everybody
03:08else.
03:10Meet me next week, face to face.
03:15I sort of feel sorry for Bayley, but let's check out what happens next week, because Raw is
03:20live at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
03:23And what a show we have in store.
03:26The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, as he prepares for Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam with Omafemi,
03:35will be in Dallas next Monday.
03:38Also next week, the Intercontinental Championship number one contenders gauntlet match.
03:42The winner will face Penta for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam.
03:47And we know EO Sky planned for SummerSlam to challenge Liv Morgan.
03:52But before we get there, Roxanne Perez looks to play the role of Roadblock.
03:57Perez, Sky, one-on-one.
04:01And the OTC is back.
04:03The World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns, live on Monday Night Raw from Dallas.
04:10Next week, here on Netflix.
04:25You are on administrative leave.
04:27What do you want?
04:28That's a funny way of saying thank you.
04:31Thank you for what?
04:33You see, while you were leaving voicemails, I placed a successful call.
04:37Really?
04:38And I've secured a replacement to face Sami Zayn in the main event.
04:42Give me a break.
04:43Hey, that superstar is in the building.
04:48So the only thing left for me to say is you're welcome.
04:53T-R-O-R! T-R-O! T-R-O!
04:57Well, who's Sami Zayn going to defend the WWE Championship again?
05:02The superstar's in the building.
05:04Our main event is live next on Raw.
05:22Fresh after a victory earlier on tonight, please welcome Rusev and Ethan.
05:27Winner, winner!
05:29Bulgarian dinner!
05:33Hey, is that what you want tonight after the show?
05:36Some Bulgarian?
05:37We eat Bulgarian tonight because we're winners.
05:39And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
05:42Gauntlet, no gauntlet.
05:44Joe, Moe, Schmoe.
05:46Crush them all.
05:47Get the Intercontinental title.
05:49Yeah!
05:53Tell them something.
05:54Yeah, see, that is the exact energy you should have brought when you're going to interview
05:57the two of us after our giant victory tonight.
06:00This is where you cheer.
06:05You know, I was very proud of myself for injuring Rey Mysterio.
06:11My partner here was very proud of me, but I had no idea that you were going to not only
06:17one-up me tonight, you were going to two-up me tonight, and then Joe Hendry sticks his
06:22stupid giant head in our business, and you three-upped me tonight.
06:26Every single man that wants to put their name in this gauntlet got laid out tonight by the
06:34dynamic duo of Rusev and all-ego Ethan Page.
06:39The only one that ran out is that Mexican Penta, but he's nowhere to be found.
06:46Otherwise, I would have been right here, ripping his mask off like I did to your daddy, the
06:51beehive.
06:52Don't forget Rey Mysterio.
06:55I'm going to do the same thing to you after I take that belt.
06:58Then I'm going to lay it on top of your face, because we all know it's ugly.
07:07I'm actually just going to ask you a question, Penta.
07:11Did you enjoy the show tonight?
07:15Did you guys enjoy the show tonight?
07:19Because next week, the show continues in this gauntlet match, and we laid out everybody
07:25in it tonight, and the same thing's going to happen next week.
07:29The two of us are going to be left standing in the middle of the ring.
07:34And gauntlet means one guy starts, I come in, I beat him up, and I take his place.
07:41Then I stay in, and then everybody that comes through their curtain, I destroy.
07:48Question.
07:49What happens if it does come down to you, Rusev, and you, Ethan?
08:00Clearly we both know the best man will win.
08:04Trust me.
08:07Good luck next week, gentlemen.

08:41Dan Housen, if you thought what happened to your lab last week was bad, just wait to see
08:48what happens to you at Saturday Night's main event.
08:51See, we saw you on SmackDown, we saw your little phone call to your friend calling for backup.
08:56We don't care who it is.
08:59Because I'm not just coming for the money.
09:04I'm coming to smash you off.
09:06I'm coming to grind on you.
09:08I am coming to embarrass you.
09:10I'm going to dance on your head in front of your fans.

09:28This can all be fixed.
09:30And just like my huerita said, give us what we want or the Judgment Day is going to make your

09:42Well, J.D. McDonough will have the opportunity to break more than just a curse as the Judgment Day member
09:48goes one-on-one with Dan Housen
09:52in the world's most famous arena Saturday, July 18th in New York City.
10:26The following contest.
10:29The Judgment Day is for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
10:37Introducing first, from Montreal to Bank Canada, weighty at 212 pounds, the Undisputed WWE Champion, Sami Zayn.
10:53Is Sami Zayn ever happy?
10:55Nine nights ago at Night of Champions, he finally did on his tenth try what he's been trying to do
11:01for a quarter of a century.
11:02He won a world championship.
11:05Tonight, he gets to defend the title in the main event on the flagship show.
11:10Knowing his Monday Night Raw, and he's complaining because he doesn't know who his opponent is and didn't want to
11:15defend the title
11:16after Cody Rhodes was taken out by an attack by Gunther.
11:19Oh, you're making it sound like Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis are doing Sami Zayn a favor.
11:23It took him 25 years to reach the top of the mountain.
11:27Nine days later, he's got to defend it blindly against Puno.
11:41Sami Zayn has a tendency to be a bit of a master strategist.
11:45We've learned throughout his career, no doubt, Sami Zayn had an airtight game plan for Cody Rhodes tonight.
11:51Now he's forced to defend his title against an opponent he has not encountered.
11:56This is insane.
11:57You want to be champion?
11:58You need to defend the title against all comers.
12:02You need to defend the title against all comers.
12:24You need to defend the title against all comers.
12:31Swim on! Swim on! Swim on! Swim on! Swim on!
14:33The WWE Champion, Sami Zayn, appears shocked.
14:39We are all shocked here tonight for the first time since the night after WrestleMania and the epic match of
14:49the year candidate versus Roman Reigns for the world championship.
14:53CM Punk has returned to Monday Night Raw.
15:00Let's go.

17:42Let's go.
17:43And we are underway in our main event tonight.
17:46Punk and Zayn for the WWE title.
17:49We've been talking throughout the night.
17:51Corey, how a Sami Zayn had no chance to prepare for his opponent once Cody Rhodes is taken out.
17:57sammy zane certainly wasn't afforded the opportunity to prepare for cm punk particularly
18:02not against cm punk in chicago but sammy zane does have an incredibly high in-ring iq sammy
18:10can do this on the fly we saw him do it successfully as united states champion with
18:15his open challenges yeah punks won championships in chicago his first intercontinental championship
18:19was won right here he won the wwe title back in 2011 and money in the bank against john
18:26cena here he looks to win the title again tonight for sammy zane who finally won a world championship
18:32in his 10th try just nine nights ago what a first title defense
18:48and if you're sammy what do you need to do tonight to keep the title
18:53sammy needs to attempt to drag this match out play the long game oh we know punk has a gas
19:00tank on him
19:00the last time we saw punk in the ring was at wrestlemania where he exhausted every fuel reserve
19:06in his body it's been three months in this business three months is a lifetime because it's one thing
19:12to be in great physical shape it's another altogether to be in proper ring shape yeah
19:17especially against a man like sammy zane who's been competing each and every week
19:21and cm punk who would be inverted atomic drop to the champion it's obvious from looking at his
19:27physical condition cm punk hasn't been sitting on the couch for the last three months he's in tip-top
19:41shape
19:41and corey oh and look at sammy zane sits behind in a shot to the kidney and if you're cm
19:46punk
19:46mentally have you have you gotten any better have you come to grips with the fact that you lost to
19:52roman and you lost the title at wrestlemania there isn't much in this business cm punk hasn't seen
19:58has an experience hasn't accomplished at the highest level punk is playing with house money
20:03tonight he just needs to ride the wave he's got chicago driving him forward it was smackdown
20:09general manager nick alderson's on lead oh suicide dive who worked out the deal to get cm punk here
20:15can punk win the title can sammy hang on
20:22cm punk in his hometown of chicago illinois looking to win an eighth world championship
20:33and for sammy zane ecstatic just nine nights ago winning his first world title and now tonight
20:40thought he was going to face cody rhodes now has to face cm punk
20:49already uh one championship has changed hands tonight the world tag team titles cover by punk
20:55and sammy zane gets the shoulder up soul ruka was able to retain an intercontinental championship
21:04a third title match of the night sammy zane with an inverted atomic drop of his own
21:09and follows it up with a close line how quickly the tides have turned against sammy zane
21:15when he made his entrance chicago gave sammy quite the reception now they're vehemently behind punk and
21:21only punk cover kick out by punk again if you think about it cory of all the surprises
21:27sammy zane would have to face tonight cm punk is the one that does not bode well for him because
21:33we're
21:33in front of nearly 13 000 cm punk fans and beyond that to your point previously this is a seven
21:40-time world
21:41champion we're talking about in cm punk sammy zane after 25 years just won number one punk has been
21:48to the dance he has been to the top of the mountain and what do they always say that the
21:53toughest title
21:54defense is the first one right absolutely because you have the opportunity to make believers out of
22:00the fans to silence the doubters or to prove them right sammy zane is taking over now
22:11it bounces cm punk off off the top turnbuckle
22:21and zane is slowing down the pace and having his way with the challenger here tonight take note of
22:27the deliberate pace being set by the champion sammy zane right now not leaving any margin for error because
22:33sammy understands that if you make one mistake against cm punk it's probably the only mistake you're
22:37gonna be able to and i hope they're able to turn things around
22:43on the champion
22:47did not expect this tonight oh big boot caught punk right in the temple it was supposed to be cody
22:54roads an attack by gunther took roads out of the equation and now we have zane and punk for the
23:01wwe title
23:16it is for the undisputed wwe championship we are live at the all-state arena in chicago 12 458 fans
23:26on hand watching their hometown hero cm punk battle sammy zane for the title it was supposed to be cody
23:33roads he was assaulted by gunther at the start of the show now medically cleared to compete smackdown
23:39general manager nick aldous who is on leave did show up here tonight he made the call he got punk
23:45in
23:45the arena and now punk and zane are battling it out for the championship
23:52and a well-placed knee and sammy zane has taken over cm pocket is this what you were talking about
23:58earlier perhaps ring rust coming into play after three months i wouldn't necessarily use the term ring
24:03rust we're talking about cm punk there's very little in this game punk doesn't know how to do
24:08on autopilot but oh i want sammy cover by sammy to retain on that kick out see how much gas
24:16is in cm
24:17punk's tank tonight again to call back to wrestlemania cm punk left it all in the ring and was still
24:24beaten
24:24by roman reigns to do a little bit of research and i can tell you that this is just the
24:30second time
24:31these two men have ever met in a singles matchup the first was back in february of 2025
24:38when punk would beat zane in a match up for the elimination chamber a qualifying match
24:44and punk now with a clothesline and punk with another one and now cm punk building some momentum
25:01and that's vintage punk with the running knee in the corner following it up with one for the bulldogs
25:07sammy zane able to counter misses wildly punk with a spinning neck breaker cover
25:14sammy stays in it
25:22we know sammy zane is a survivor
25:27you can never ever count sammy zane completely out of any situation
25:34well the same can be said for that man the second city saint the voice of the voiceless looking for
25:41the gts to go to sleep sammy zane and will slip from behind looking for a blue thunder bomb
25:47countered by punk punk with elbows to the back of the neck
25:53and punk with a standing switch
25:55have a mark applied into a clothesline cover for the title sammy kicks at it too
26:05take another look at this cm punk reaching deep into his bag to unleash a clothesline that's got a two
26:12and a half count
26:13but still not enough to dethrone the champion sammy zane golden opportunity for cm punk tonight
26:21the same has to be said for sammy zane sammy's heard the outside noise sammy hears the doubters
26:26that he's not going to be able to hold on to the gold for a long time
26:29sammy can prove everybody wrong here tonight by defeating none other than cm punk in chicago
26:35punk took a little bit too much time and sammy zane with a shot right to the midsection
26:40and now the champion zane looking to regain control of this match
26:49a lot of parallels in the careers of these two men
26:54from where they started to where they are now
26:56and now sammy zane
27:00superplex
27:03both men down who will be champion
27:19critical moment in this matchup for the wwe championship
27:23off the superplex both men are down the champion sammy zane in just his ninth night as the champ
27:32the challenger the seven-time world champion cm punk in his hometown of chicago but punk has barely
27:40moved in the moment since sammy zane delivered the thunderous superplex from the very top rope
27:46what does the champ have in mind now and sammy has recovered and he looks to capitalize
27:59you mentioned it earlier the crowd that was cheering sammy when he came out has turned hostile
28:06toward the champion from the top and a kick by punk takes out the champ and punk buys himself some
28:12time
28:12cover an opportunity to win the title sammy kicks out at two
28:20a momentary look of frustration washing over the face of the challenger cm punk who understands an
28:26opportunity has just presented itself what's punk gonna do with it
28:30as soon as zane favoring his left knee as cm punk now heads up to the top rope
28:36and punk with a cross body
28:41punk's favoring his right knee here's the cover is it enough the champion stays in it
28:49two battle-hardened veterans battling for the top prize in wwe
29:06a little smirk that just flashed across the face of cm punk should give sammy zane pause
29:13for over 50 years the best of the best have battled over this championship and tonight punk and zane do
29:21it
29:21can sammy zane of all people understands exactly how cm punk must have felt when punk won his first
29:29world championship you're not supposed to be here you're not big enough you're not good enough yeah
29:34we'll take that oh what a collision
29:44this is our main event live in front of over 12 000 at the all-state arena in chicago sammy
29:51zane defending his wwe championship against cm punk and punk's hometown tonight a collision moments
29:59ago has led us to this critical moment who will dig down deep who will win a title that has
30:07been
30:07contested for nearly for near over 60 years the wwe title what we're seeing right now is what has
30:16defined both of these superstars throughout their career toughness guts grit and a never say die
30:23attitude yeah from where they came from as young independent wrestlers battling to get to this
30:29spot to get to this moment as two of the all-time greats in wwe punk's got sammy up looking
30:35at the gts
30:36sammy zane gonna turn it around tried blue thunderbomb punk caught it with a kick
30:44step up knee rocks the jaw the champion

30:56wow wow to blue thunderbomb to try to retain and a kick out by punk punk playing a bit to
31:04the crowd
31:05and it cost him sammy zane just flexing a little raw power the champion deceptively strong just
31:11muscling punk up before driving him down with the blue thunderbomb what a main event tonight we were
31:17expecting sammy and cody cody was taken out by gunther cm punk arriving on the scene to battle sammy zane
31:24to the
31:25wwe championship zane's first title defense since winning the title nine nights ago at night of
31:32champions
31:36how much does punk have left his first appearance in three months since the night after wrestlemania

31:55see if punk have been trying that throughout the match
32:00and his hitman colors oh punk gonna deliver an elbow from the top rope
32:08cover by punk to win the championship sammy's still in it
32:16see a look of almost disbelief on the face of punk anaconda vice
32:20the submission all did the anaconda vice that's tapped out so many superstars over the past couple
32:27of decades from sammy top out sammy zane is desperate flailing hoping to reach the bottom rope but
32:35poke has it locked in tight well pop with the championship with the anaconda vice here tonight
32:40in his hometown sammy zane's world probably beginning to fade to black right now hook's got it locked in
32:46sammy tried to counter sammy flailing away his grip on the championship could be coming to an end
32:54is zane gonna tap is sammy gonna tap and sammy again trying to counter
33:04and he breaks the hold dane was able to slip out
33:08and now punk wanted perhaps a sharpshooter speaking of the hitman
33:13and sammy zane able to counter that blasphemous to try to put the sharpshooter on another canadian
33:20uh-oh went for the gts standing switch now by puck sammy rolls through this is how he beat cody

33:56and now punk delivering right hands sammy will counter
34:06up at his shoulders sammy avoids the gts again now with punk up sammy zane with a goal
34:14to sleep punk's own move sammy to retain the championship and punk still in it
34:23and this is the point where if you're sammy zane doubt begins to creep into your mind
34:29zane delivering punk's own finishing maneuver the dreaded gts hooks the leg but punk survives
34:40and if you're sammy what the hell does he need to do i don't have an answer
34:47this is where we'll find out what sammy zane means as undisputed wwe champion you want to be

38:03P.M. C.P.I.P.U.M.
38:08The Summer of Punk No. 2, circa 2026.
38:16Almost 15 years to the day that CM Punk won the WWE Championship.
38:23He wins it once again in his hometown of Chicago.
38:35For the last nine days, Sami Zayn has lived on the top of the world.
38:44But tonight, the second City Saint came marching in, delivered Sami's own Haluba kick.
38:53And a G.T.S.
38:58And new!
39:03The shortest World Championship reign in nearly five years.
39:09For CM Punk, he is an eight-time World Champion.
39:13Almost 20 years to the day that this man made his debut in WWE.
39:21And once again tonight, CM Punk is on top of the mountain.
39:42What a main event.
39:45The man who has made a career out of hard work and resilience and fucking the system.
39:53Finds himself as a World Champion.
40:05I mean, taking up and away from Sami Zayn, that was a hell of a fight.
40:09Sami Zayn was put in a practically unwinnable situation to have to face CM Punk with zero notice.
40:18No need to hang your head, Sami.
40:26Well, you know, I mentioned earlier, 2011.
40:30And the night that this man won the WWE Championship in this building in Chicago.
40:36What he did just that.
40:38Blowin' the kiss as he took the title from Cena and walked out of the All-State Arena.
40:45Just like he's doing tonight, but this time on much better terms as the WWE Champion.
40:54You think this title's gonna end up in his refrigerator too?
40:58Why not?
40:59CM Punk can do whatever the hell he wants to do.
41:03It's celebration time in the Windy City for the Second City Saint.
41:20Yeah!
41:25Yeah!
41:25Yeah!
41:26Yeah!
41:27Oh, yeah!
